This would make a good php project, you can do so much with that and it looks like the sort of thing it would do best. If there is a commonality of url form, it owuld give PHP something to look for; this requires more detail, but don't look too big a challenge to do. One would presume a shell account or access to hosting in which you can run php on an Apache server; or if it comes to it, grab a free copy of XAMPP as a batch-file-drive Apache server for Windows. There's other versions of course, but you hardly need it for Linix as it should be there by default.

Subject: command line streaming URL scraping tool



I'm trying to locate a tool which when given a web page with a "Listen Live"
link, can return the actual URL of  an audio stream which can be handed
off to mplayer.

My problem as you will doubtless surmise, is finding the actual
URLs  of audio streams.

Ideally I'd like a tool which I can use like this:
$ get_audio_url http://www.wabcradio.com > url.txt
or
$ mplayer `get_audio_url http://www.wabcradio.com`



Does anyone know if such a beastie exists?
